The WENDELSTEIN 7-X Stellator is a further experiment in the small group of next-step fusion devices in the world. An essential goal of this machine is to demonstrate concept improvement towards the development of fusion devices. The magnet system is designed for optimum stellator plasma performance and the technical layout will allow steady-state plasma operation. The whole magnet is encapsulated by an inner and outer toroidal cryostat tube for cold operation. The schedule for the experimental device aims at a start of technical operation in 2002 and plasma operation two years later. 4 refs., 9 figs.
